A few years ago when the lock out happened, I thought the 100 best players should have just put together a barnstorming league. Cut the owners out entirely. It is the only pro sport that could do it. They only need 10 -12 players per team. They don't need a farm system as the NCAA provides one for free. they could put their games on pay-per view. Perhaps each game could be played for a purse on the way to a championship.
